Lyrics:

Well, I heard the rumor, going around town
Say you got a man, the way across town
Same old story, tell me where have you been?
Same old blues, same old blues again
I wrote you letter, but you must have read it wrong
Still on your doorstep, I've been waiting for you, come home
Did a long time, put an old telephone to ring
Same old blues, same old blues again

When you give me your bidding, say I don't mind
Got a lot of question, got a whole lot of time
Same old story, tell me where have you been?
Same old blues, same old blues again

Gonna find a mountain, wanna hang way out
Ain't gon' talk to you and I ain't gonna come out
Same old story, tell me where does it go?
Same old blues, same old blues before
Well, I heard the rumor, been going all over town
Said you got a man that lived way across town
Same old story, tell me where have you been?
Same old blues, same old blues again
